kg.ii t lie pi c..seilt, 10 s-coin coane himself to the .simple statement which he had made of the mode that it was his intention to re commend. When the details should be laid before the House, he should endeavour to persuade them that his measure would not degrade the Regal Au thority, that it would not offer the slighteSt insult to that royal character, for whom . he'entertained as high a respect as the Right Hon. Gentleman, or any other man, and that it would not violate any funda mental principle of the British Constitution. On these three points Ike trusted tha: he should be able to satisfy the House. He thought he . shOuld have it in his poker clearly to maintain, that the Majesty of .the,Throne, the best interests of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and the conservation of the true pririciplet of the Consutution, would be most *effectually secured by the adoption of the course which he m eant 10 propose. Mr. ADAM conceived that the Right Hon.:Gen tleinan had hot sufficiently explained his intentions, and that the House were entitled to know more mi nutely what it was. that he meant to propose. The last Resolution which the .Right. Hon. Gentleman had declared that he sh, - .Uld move, would involve in it the question of the huntation of the power of the Fegent. The true character of the proceeding. would' be, whet he? there should be any rest r i c ti ons or not ; and if iherp were, to be any restrictions, of what na-, tare, and to what extent.? The Right Hon. Ger.. • tleman's sentiments on this point ought. to be ren aered clearly intelligible. A question would : ariie with. respect to the custody of his ,Majesty's person; that it might be in such hands, that a s soon. as h is Majesty's cap ac i ty for office should b restored, the benefit of that restoration aught be enjoyed. The Right .Honourable Gentleman ought to declare his intentions on this and many other points. Unless such an explanation were given, the House would be: entrapped, and called on to determine in the Clark 'neon. this great and momentous.. yrestion, agi tated at the most momentous crisis of the British hiStory. The opinions which, he (Mr. Adam) en tertained. on this sohject, in the. years 1788 and 1 789; were well known . . „In those. opinions he had been cot - 41111141 upon the most. mature deliberation. He, was persuaded that tht only true constitutional form of etreaingthe.desired objegt .was by address; and "he was likewise persuaded, that every attempt fti, limit the royal authority, when that authority had been giveh for the benerit..of the people, was a gross violation of the Constitution. . 7 .r e i oe ‘...tfANCELLoR of the EXOtiEtallgß observed, that the Honourable and ,Learned Gentleman must have iorgutten what he (the chancellor-of the Ex thequer) had maid. , He had merely. declared, that Ok'Thersday he wqpid state to the House a propo rtfloh, w hich . it was his intention to submit to them O - ti a subsequent .day. . What Cvas there in this like entrapping, or wishing the. House to come to a con clusion_in the dark If the.Hotiourabie and Learn ed Gen tleman. diflered from him as to the.time,of the putilicatio:l4 he was sorry for it ; 1 but having. of Cop* weighed the propriety of ihe time which he had mentioned bet i o:e ht. had tnendonedit, it could not be Supposed likely that would depart from his original intention. Mr. WHITittEtVo expressed his astonishment, if the Right Hun. Gentleman were in possession of the plan ,which he intet,ded to propose, that he should think he had done enough in'having given his notice. The only solution Inch occurred to him was, that the Right Hun. Gentleman had not : exactly made up' his own. mind as to the propositioos which it \vas his intention to submit to the House. The question was then put, and agieed.fo. The CHAN'CELLOICOI . the Ex c:IEQUEIt, having de- Oared it to be his oetermwation to make die call effeenal, moved, that the .order for ca:ling user the House on Wednesday, ,be postponed to ThOrsday.— Ordered.

He was engaged at that place for twelve nights. It appears from the Report of the Committee ap pointed to examine ills MAJEiTY'S Physicians, that the Lord CHANCELLOR has had two interviews with MAJESTY, and Mr. PertouvAt. one. We shall lay,copion3 EXtra&s frigra the .Rvo4t before cur .11eacrs to•morrow. F► tc R ti' Yesterday the - Report of the Comioittee, appoiut ed by' the HPaqe of Commons to examine_ his Ma jesty's Physicians, was laid upon the table of the House, and ordered to be printed..'s The Repott ap pears to he very Icing. The examinition was ,car rigid on, for. four . hotirs- on Friday, -- and' for near five hours and a half on Saturday. After the Repor t had been ordered - to_be printed, Mr. PEacKvAL_pro posed that it should be taken into consideration on Thursday instead of 'Wednesday, and moved that on. Thursday the House should reSaive itself into a Committee to take into consideration the State of the Nation/ He also gave notice that he should, in the Committee on the State of the Nation, propose the three Resolutions which were proposed and agreed to by both Houses of Parliament in 1788. We had occasion to quote these Resolutions some days ago, in arguing the question of Regency; btit We think it necessary,to re-print . them, in order that • our readers May more perfectly , under4tand. the ❑a= ture of the Proceedings on ThUrsay. Tie tioos were as 'follow i 1. " That it is the pinion of this_Committee, that his:M A- J ttsTY is prevented, by his present indisposition, from com ing to his Parliament, and from attending \ to the public busi ness; and that the personal exercise Of the Royal Authority is thereby for the present interrupted. " That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is the right and duty of the Lords Spiritual anti TemPoral, and Commons, of Great Britain, now assembled, and latvtully, .fully, and freely representing all the estates of the people ot, this realm, to provide the tneans.of supplying the defect of the perSonal'exercise of the Royal Authority, arising front his MA J EST Y'S said indisposition, in such ma:met - as t he exigency of the case may appear to require. II I. " That for this purpose, and for maintaining entire the Constitutional Authority of the K it is necessary that the said Lords Spiritual and' Temporal, and Cortunoti, of Great Britain, should determine on the means whereby the Royal Assent'may be gisien in Par;itnent to such Pill as may be passed by the two Houses of Parliament, respeeting the exercise of the powers aigauthorities of the Crown, .in the naive arid on the behal fof the KING, during the conti nuance of his MAI EST Y's present inCispositiOn." The.first of these Resolutions will be agreed to without any opposition. Upon the second, it is not probable that much debate will take place ; but Upon the third, judging by what fell last night from PONSONBY and. Mr. SHERMAN, the discus sion Will be very long. Those Gentlemen, it ap• pears, adhere to the opinion they expressed in 1788, that the two Houses of Parliament Ought to .proceed to invest the PRINCE Of WALES with the Regency, by an 'address from both Houses of Par liament, instead of passing a Bill for that purpose. We are happy to find that the question of right is not again revived, and no Member of Parliament has advanced the unconstitutional doctrine, ad. vanced by the Morning Chronicle, some' days agq, viz, that in time case of time temporary incapacity of the Sovereign to execute his Royal . Functions, the Prince of WALES should instantly become invested with all the powers of the Sove reign ; and ,that the two Houses of Parliament had only. to find the fad.. Such a doolrine, we are , happy to say, has not been advanced in Parliament ; time question will, therefore, only be,, in the first instance, which of the two modes of proceeding is preferable, viz, by Bill or by Address ? • If this question had now occurred for the first time, we should undoubtedly, give the preference to the proceeding by Bill, as the more regular and con stitutional mode; but after the precedent of 1788, we should think that very little doubt can exist upon the subjed. The'question was at that time fully discussed by some of the most able men this coun try ever produced, and both Houses of Parliament, after mature deliberation, concurred in thinking that they ought to proceed by way of Bill. A precedent established under . such .circumstaoces ought . not to be lightly departed from, and we cannot conceive that the Opposition will be able to advance any stronger reasons fer violating that precedent now, than they were against its adoption in the first in stance. After Parliament shall have decided upon the mode of proceeding, the next important question v~ ill be, whiether any o and what restriaions, shall be imposed upon the Regent, and whether those res triaions - should be permanent or temporary ? Upon this patt . cf the subje& Mr.'PERCEVAL gaVe notice yesterday that he should fully explain hiS in tentions on Thursday in the Committee on the State of the Nation. Many reports are in circula tion as to the nature of the propositions that are to be made, but they are founded entirely upon con jeaure, because the intentions of Ministers have cer tainly not been made known upon the subjea. • The Dukes of YORK, CUMBERLAND, and CAM BRIDGE, Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, rode on horseback in Windsor Park for a)out two !lotus.
